...There are 9 (nine) x .330 caliber pellets in each 00 shotgun round....

A Remington 870 was used by the latest murdering lunatic.
And if 7 12 gauge 00 rounds are fired from an 870 in 3 seconds, which is entirely possible, that would shoot 63 30 caliber pellets. 63 pellets in 3 seconds is actually faster than the full automatic bullet fire rate of the M4 rifle and every bump stock ever made.

Liberals are idiots

But they all said if AR15s were banned, then there would be no more school shootings.

Generally, with almost no exceptions, semi-autos can be fired with equal rapidity, despite barrel length.

And I have watched the quick draw experts fire off 6 rounds in the blink of an eye, and All of them Perfect Shots, from a Revolver!!!!

Not rational. At close range buckshot is every bit as lethal as 5.56.

USAToday and “rational” do not go together. At all.

More polite lethality? More civically responsible lethality?

This feller is a regular brain trust.

At least he got one thing right:

The standard magazine for an AR-15 holds 30 rounds...

The Ministry of Lies can hardly demonize shotguns since Joe Biden busts off rounds from his back porch when startled.

lethal:

“sufficient to cause death.”

I believe that ALL the “dead” kids in ALL the school shootings, are just as DEAD, regardless of the weapon used.

Lethal = DEAD

Less lethal = less DEAD? I don’t think so, but I’m not a urinalist.

Translation: Guns used in Texas shooting weren’t as scary looking than other shootings.

What this is really working up to is that ALL the leftists will have to admit they do want to take ALL our guns.

______________________________________

If we turned this thread into a debate over AR vs. shotgun as better at distances of 75 feet and less, I suspect there would be as many shotgun advocates as AR advocates, except shotguns with OO buck are a lot less sexy than ARs. That totally supports your point because the left is trying to demonize ARs simply because they are black and based on a military design, not because they are any more lethal in moderate range environments. Hence, the whole idea is to familiarize people with the “legitimacy” of trying to outlaw one kind of gun to make it easier to outlaw all guns.

The last 100 year old handgun I had could empty a mag of .45 in less than one second by utilizing low powered rounds and a loose hand grip.

So does that mean the ten who perished are less dead then those who died from other weapons?

Why do we allow these stupid people at USA Today to ever be part of any discussion?

High-powered rifles such as the AR-15 can be fired more than twice as fast as most handguns.

Jerry Miculek would disagree:

Jerry Miculek- World record 8 shots in 1 second & 12 shot reload!

A local female news reporter reported that a student brought a 380 caliber shotgun to school. Later a male reporter corrected her and said it was a 30 caliber pistol.
